It's those little John Hancock flourishes that make it unique.

Greetings,

Newcomer here. I'm having hard time to identify this briefcase's brand. Highly appreciated if any of you gentlemen could identify it for me. I found it in my basement while doing some cleaning. It was my dad's, I'm guessing that he bought it in the 90's.










Happy holidays

I believe they are closed today, and don't open again for business until tomorrow (Saturday 27th). They were still there last week - what number do you have (0207 409 7277?)?

Hello,
New here - so I hope this is allowed. I have gone through pretty much every page on this thread. I really like the below briefcase. Could one of the experts here identify it? Thank you.

Hello, first time poster. I've been trying to identify this leather briefcase. It was my father's but has no markings or branding. It is at least 20 yrs old. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Very nice.

Here is the Berluti "Scientifique" - with apologies because I don't think the photos do it justice.
